[1] Louisa Fennell was born in the Wakefield area of the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1847.
For example, her watercolour entry to the 1884 Spring exhibition in Derby was singled out by the local newspaper as "particularly noticeable".
[2] In 1881 she departed from her usual subject-matter and published an album of 12 lithographs on The Life of Saint Paul in Rome, which a reviewer in the Magazine of Art described as "not very well done" in a round-up of what leading women artists had been working on.
[6] Between 1876 and 1882 she exhibited 11 works, mostly views of Rome, at the Royal Society of British Artists in London.
A retrospective exhibition of her work was held at Wakefield City Art Gallery in September 1936.
